The Large Hadron Collider will destroy the world: Less than 1 in 1 million

Agreed. And if we're proven wrong, I promise to buy everybody on this list who publicly disagrees a beer, or else an unreasonably expensive mineral water as a means of signaling the equivalent level of deference.

It might be worth noting that even if the LHC does do something that causes the world to be destroyed, it might be a rather slow destruction that could take a few years to complete, so that's not entirely an empty promise...

Damn! I had counted on it being completely empty. Well, no backing out of it now. My offer stands!

Don't worry, I'll chip in. ;)
